“Portrait of Isabella Brant” (c.1625) by Peter Paul Rubens. Any art museum that has 17th century art will have at least one Rubens and the Cleveland Art Museum is no exception. The museum features two of Rubens paintings and both of them include Isabella. Isabella was Rubens first wife and the daughter of important city official in Antwerp. Isabella and Rubens had three children together: Clara, Nicolaas and Albert. Tragically, Isabella died of the Bubonic Plague when she was only 34 years old. This is a fantastic portrait that shows her playful side and that she did not take herself too seriously
